Climate Change Influences Air Turbulence

Caption

The paper is featured on the cover of <em>Advances in Atmospheric Sciences</em>, Volume 34, Issue 5. Red shading indicates patches of clear-air turbulence within the undulating jet stream over North America and the North Atlantic. Also shown are a typical flight route between New York (JFK) and London (LHR) and the measured increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) since the industrial revolution. The cover is produced based on climate model simulations.
